* Rarity: The chance of encountering a Shiny Pokémon in the wild is very low, typically 1/4096. This makes them highly sought after by trainers.
* No impact on stats: A Shining Pokémon's stats and abilities are identical to a regular Pokémon of the same species.
* Trading value: Due to their rarity, Shining Pokémon are highly valued by other players and can be traded for other rare Pokémon or items.
